Davis is best known for his work as an artist and character designer for the comic book publisher Entertaining Comics, but was also active in magazine illustration and various forms of advertising. His poster for The Party brilliantly showcases his talent. This poster is conservation linen backed and would be shipped rolled in a strong tube.
